I'm not mad that Connie lost. I'm mad that our only two options were centrist Democrats. While the rest of the country is making progress, it feels like local politics, particularly the SF Democratic Party, are deeply influenced by corporate interests and billionaires.

Coincidentally, SF Democrats opposed the one-time tax on billionaires (prop 40), breaking with the rest of the Democratic party statewide https://fortune.com/2026/09/02/san-francisco-democrats-bilionaire-tax-prop-40/
@docpop SF is a oligarch town
The SF Dems are one of the richest local parties in the nation and the majority of their donations came from just THREE big donors

@docpop it is disheartening.
The SF Democratic Party doubled down this year on supporting Flock surveillance cameras, voting AGAINST safeguards and police oversight.
Two of those committee members work for Flock https://missionlocal.org/2026/09/san-francisco-democratic-party-flock-cameras/
And the Party Chair accepted $10,000 from Flock https://sfstandard.com/2026/09/28/sf-dem-party-chair-who-blocked-key-flock-vote-got-10-000-donation-billionaire/
